Finally, bought 22/45 today

Not sure if it is as good as the mkII but the feel was good, price even better and supposedly, the gun has the same action, but with a polymer body. At $209, seemed like a decent way to go.

Thanks for all the help.

Main thing is that you' re happy.

Congrats!

Congratulations!! I' m sure if it' s anything at all like the MKII you' ll be happy with it. Now it' s time to find out what ammo it likes the best. My MKII seems to like the Federal Lightning' s. Good luck and let us know how it shoots.

Good luck with your new gun!

I' m fairly certain you are correct, the actions in the MKII and the 22/45 are the same, I don' t know why they' d change it anyway, what is different is the grip frame=different angle and different material, and different feel. I' m not a big fan of polymers, but I' m one that tends to not be a fan of " black guns" or " plastic" guns, blued steel/stainless steel tickle my fancy, but you made a great choice, just having the 22/45 will make a transition to it' s big brother p-series when the time and money are right.

the main thing about the 22/45, is that the grip angle, safety, mag release, are the same as a colt/clone .45. so it is a nice gun for shooters of .45s can shoot and have the operations the same in the same places

That' s a sweet shooting gun with a nice feel to it, you' ll love it.

I just bought the Ruger Mk II MK512 which is a 5 1/2" bull barreled pistol with adjustable sights. I paid $259 for it, which I thought was pretty good.

Tealboy Way to go.I think you made a good decision leaving that Buck Mark at the pawn shop and buying the 22/45.I' m sure you' ll really like the Ruger.Good luck with it......

Ok i am scratching my head here . those plastic ,polymer, black guns can be had in the blued /stainless flavors. are you trying to say you like blued /stainless guns with traditional wood type stocks??

and while i own a 22/45 and encouraged tealboy to buy one i probably wouldnt compare it to a p series ruger. maybe a 1911 , the gun it is supposed to replicate the grip of.
i only encourage those i don' t like to buy a p series ruger. unless a friend needed a expensive trotline weight.
